Key Takeaways:Ethereum (ETH) surges past $4,500 after U.S. inflation data meets expectations.Bitcoin (BTC) trades just shy of $120,000, supported by Fed rate cut bets.Binance Coin (BNB) climbs to $830, closing in on its all-time high.Analysts see room for ETH to test $5,000, BTC to retest $123K ATH, and BNB to break $850 if momentum holds.Ethereum Breaks $4,500 — Institutional Demand in FocusEthereum’s rally past $4,500 marks its strongest move since early 2022, driven by a mix of macro relief and heavy institutional buying. Data from Lookonchain shows corporate treasuries have been adding millions of ETH in recent weeks, with BitMine Immersion Technologies and SharpLink Gaming accounting for more than half of the total ETH held by the top 10 companies.On-chain analytics also point to large exchange outflows, a sign that investors are moving ETH into cold storage for long-term holding — a bullish signal ahead of potential spot ETH ETF approval.Bitcoin Nears $120K as Inflation Meets ForecastsBitcoin is trading just under $120,000, with market sentiment boosted after July CPI matched expectations, reinforcing forecasts of a September Federal Reserve rate cut.Analysts warn that BTC remains closely tied to U.S. equities and could see short-term volatility, but the macro setup favors a retest of its 2025 high near $123K if ETF inflows remain strong.BNB Hits $830 — All-Time High in SightBinance Coin has surged to $830, just 3–4% below its all-time high of $861. Technical analysts say that a clean breakout above $840 could trigger a fast move toward $850–$860, supported by BNB Chain’s growing DeFi volume and ecosystem upgrades.Inflation’s Impact on CryptoThe inflation print has tempered recession fears and boosted risk-on appetite across financial markets. For crypto, this means higher probability of sustained ETF inflows and potential for record-breaking prices into Q4 2025.However, some analysts caution that if August CPI comes in hot, it could trigger a sharp pullback in BTC and ETH.Price Outlook — August & BeyondAssetCurrent PriceKey ResistanceBullish TargetBearish Risk ZoneETH$4,515$4,650$5,000+Below $4,300BTC$119,850$123,000$125,000+Below $116,000BNB$830$840–$850$861+Below $810 If institutional flows continue and macro conditions hold, ETH at $5K, BTC at $125K, and BNB at a new ATH are all in play before September’s Fed meeting.
